Dear gmx-user, I would like to simulate an isolated drop of water (without PBC). To prevent water molecules form evaporation I would like to create a spherical constraint around the system. In recent article in PNAS (Caleman, Hub, van Maaren, van der Spoel, v. 108, 6838 (2011)) where the authors considered similar system it is mentioned that: "To avoid such evaporation, we applied a spherical flat-bottom quadratic potential acting on the water. That potential was implemented as an additional force F pointing toward the COM of the droplet..."
Could anybody give a hint how this approach can be realized in GROMACS? I looked through the manual, but did not find clear answer how to implement such a force. Thank you very much in advance.
